  • The first genetic map for yellow lupin enables genetic dissection of adaptation traits in an orphan grain legume crop (8 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Jens Berger mainly investigates Agronomy, Crop, Genetics, Reproduction and Lysimeter. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate change, Genetic diversity and Introgression in addition to Agronomy. His Crop research includes themes of Photosynthesis, Dry weight and Explained variation.

Genotype, Adaptation, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic linkage and Domestication are the primary areas of interest in his Genetics study. His Reproduction study typically links adjacent topics like Salinity.
